$A$ steel meter scale is to be ruled so that millimeter intervals are accurate within about $5 \times 10^{-5} \,m$ at a certain temperature. The maximum temperature variation allowable during the ruling is (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 10 \times 10^{-6} \,K^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two rods,one made of aluminium and the other made of steel,having initial lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively,are connected together to form a single rod of length $(l_1 + l_2)$. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminium and steel are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature is raised by $t^oC$,then the ratio $l_1/(l_1 + l_2)$ is:

Two metal rods $A$ and $B$ each of length $50 \ cm$ and diameter $4.0 \ mm$ are joined together at temperature $30^{\circ} C$. What is the change in length of the combined rod at $230^{\circ} C$ (in $mm$)? [Given linear expansion coefficients of rods $A$ and $B$ are respectively, $2.0 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$ and $1.0 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$]

Three rods of length $\ell$ each are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR$. $O$ is the midpoint of $PQ$. For a small change in temperature,the distance $OR$ remains constant. If the coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$ is $\alpha_2$ and for $PQ$ is $\alpha_1$,then:
